THE VERY BEST FLATS LINE ON THE MARKET
Perfect for bones, perms and poons with low stretch performance
Easy annealing, low-memory core that lays perfectly straight on the water
Low-stretch “DirectCore” for hard, solid strip sets
Mid length head & long rear taper for complete line control
High floating running line that will not sink and impede the cast
Conquer the flats with RIO’s FLATS PRO tropical saltwater line. This line has a mid length head and long rear taper for smooth, effortless loops, and a weight distribution that provide perfect presentations of just about any fly you are likely to use. The no-memory, easy to straighten, low stretch “DirectCore” is effortless to stretch out, lies completely straight on the water and gives unprecedented hook sets, while reducing the fight time. In addition, the hard, tropical coating stops the line from wilting in the heat, and ensures the line shoots with exceptional ease.
There are four different density options available that ensures any angler fishing the flats is covered for all conditions and species. The options available are:
F – A full floating line F/I StealthTip – A full floating line with a 6ft clear intermediate tip - essentially a floating line with a really short, clear tip for the ultimate in stealth F/I – A floating line with a 15ft clear intermediate tip – perfect for getting the fly down in deeper flats I – A full intermediate sinking tropical saltwater line
The core strength of this line is as follows:
WF6 - WF7 = 30lb WF8 - WF9 = 40lb WF10 - WF12 = 50lb

Technology:
DirectCore - In hot, humid conditions, DirectCore lines provide the stiffness you need to fire into the wind, with significantly reduced memory. Which means your line lies straighter on the water for a more direct connection to fly and fish. DirectCore is also 25% stronger than other monofilament cores of equal size, and stretches 30% less at breaking point. In short, DirectCore makes you a better angler on the flats, in the mangroves and off the beach.
b>AgentX - This proprietary process allows RIO line designers to optimize the specific performance of each line. For example, AgentX floating lines can use an inner layer with more buoyant microspheres, while the outer layer is formulated for maximum toughness and shooting ability. AgentX means the best of both worlds in a single fly line.
Extreme Slickness - With XS Technology, RIO has developed a fly line that is slicker, more stable, and far less apt to attract dirt, and paired with AgentX Technology, it engineers a line that is less dense, casts further and more accurately, floats higher, lasts longer, and offers more consistent performance cast after cast, strike after strike, fish after fish.
